Agriculture is key to better health, a sustainable environment and a robust economy

The Texas A&M AgriLife Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture, IHA, is the world’s first research institute to combine precision nutrition, responsive agriculture and behavioral research to reduce diet-related chronic disease in a way that considers environmental and economic effects.

IHA and affiliated scientists work at the forefront of nutrition, agriculture and social and behavioral science innovation. Using the alignment and interface of these key areas sparks leading solutions to combat complex public health challenges.

The IHA’s work makes food systems more sustainable. It makes food producers more prosperous. It gives communities new hope for a healthier future.
